Help , Day 20 incubation. Lavender Orps.

I kept humidity between 40-50% until day 19 lockdown.
It seems like the humidity keeps dropping to 25%..
When I added some water through small tube into one vent hole, it jumped too high..
then again tooo low
I have 4 diff temp readings none match, two diff humidity readings within 5% of eachother
NO PEEPS PIPS ZIPS.... nothing?
ANy tips?

I don't know what to do about your current problem, but for future reference, I have these thermometers: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0099Y9SUQ/

They are extremely accurate. My chicks hatch exactly on time.

I would be worried they might have drown. 40-50% is pretty high for the first 18 days. They need to evaporate and with humidity that high they can't evaporate correctly. Good luck.

I understand you people. I don't even have my chickens or Guineas yet and I want a incubator. What do you do with all the chicks and Guineas and ducks and turkeys after they hatch? Do you have them everywhere? Share with others?
